ArtCraft's PhotoCraft: Open-Source, AI-Built Photoshop Clone Written in Rust

The ArtCraft project recently unveiled PhotoCraft, an open-source, cross-platform image editor described as a "clean-room reimplementation of Adobe Photoshop." Written in Rust, PhotoCraft was developed using AI coding tools, which allows the project to avoid copyright issues by not reverse-engineering proprietary software. The application is part of a suite of creative tools from ArtCraft, a project led by Brandon Thomas, former CEO of storyteller.ai. PhotoCraft aims to provide a feature-rich alternative to established image editing software while adhering to open-source principles.
